PPL Corporation Reports Second-Quarter 2022 Earnings

•Announces 2022 second-quarter reported earnings (GAAP) of $0.16 per share.
•Achieves 2022 second-quarter ongoing earnings per share of $0.30 vs. $0.19 in 2021.
•Reaffirms 2022 ongoing earnings forecast range of $1.30 to $1.45 per share.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (August 3, 2022) - PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) today announced second-quarter 2022 reported earnings (GAAP) of $119 million, or $0.16 per share, compared with second-quarter 2021 reported earnings of $19 million, or $0.03 per share.
PPL reported earnings of $392 million, or $0.53 per share, for the first six months of 2022, compared with the reported net loss of $1.82 billion, or $2.37 per share, for the first six months of 2021.
Adjusting for special items, second-quarter 2022 earnings from ongoing operations (non-GAAP) were $222 million, or $0.30 per share, compared with $147 million, or $0.19 per share, a year ago.
Earnings from ongoing operations for the first six months of 2022 were $527 million, or $0.71 per share, compared with $366 million, or $0.47 per share, for the first six months of 2021.
Special items in the second quarter of 2022 primarily included integration expenses associated with the acquisition of Rhode Island Energy. Special items in 2021 included a non-cash net loss from discontinued operations associated with PPL's former U.K. utility business.
“PPL’s strong second-quarter financial performance put us squarely on track to achieve our 2022 earnings guidance, and with our acquisition of Rhode Island Energy now complete, we are excited to deliver on the business plan we shared during our recent Investor Day,” said PPL President and Chief Executive Officer Vincent Sorgi.
“Our plan is focused on providing superior reliability and affordability for our customers, driving operational excellence, delivering top-tier annual earnings per share and dividend growth of 6% to 8% annually, and leading the clean energy transition in the regions we serve,” added Sorgi. “Looking ahead, we’re well positioned to deliver on this plan, with $27 billion in regulated investment opportunity through 2030.”
PPL's 2022 ongoing earnings forecast range, reaffirmed today, is $1.30 to $1.45 per share, with a midpoint of $1.37 per share. The 2022 ongoing earnings forecast range reflects a partial year estimate of contributions from Rhode Island Energy, with the acquisition completed by PPL on May 25, 2022.
PPL also reaffirmed its projected compound annual earnings per share and dividend growth of 6% to 8% through at least 2025. The company’s earnings per share growth target is based off its 2022 pro forma forecast range of $1.40 to $1.55 per share, with a midpoint of $1.48 per share. The pro forma forecast range reflects a full year of earnings contributions from Rhode Island Energy.

2022 Earnings Forecast

PPL reaffirmed its 2022 earnings from ongoing operations forecast range of $1.30 to $1.45 per share.
Earnings from ongoing operations is a non-GAAP measure that could differ from reported earnings due to special items that are, in management’s view, non-recurring or otherwise not reflective of the company’s ongoing operations. PPL management is not able to forecast whether any of these factors will occur or whether any amounts will be reported for future periods. Therefore, PPL is not able to provide an equivalent GAAP measure for earnings guidance.
See the table at the end of this news release for a complete reconciliation of the earnings forecast.

Management utilizes “Earnings from Ongoing Operations” or "Ongoing Earnings" as a non-GAAP financial measure that should not be considered as an alternative to reported earnings, or net income, an indicator of operating performance determined in accordance with GAAP. PPL believes that Earnings from Ongoing Operations is useful and meaningful to investors because it provides management's view of PPL's earnings performance as another criterion in making investment decisions. In addition, PPL’s management uses Earnings from Ongoing Operations in measuring achievement of certain corporate performance goals, including targets for certain executive incentive compensation. Other companies may use different measures to present financial performance.

Earnings from Ongoing Operations is adjusted for the impact of special items. Special items are presented in the financial tables on an after-tax basis with the related income taxes on special items separately



disclosed. Income taxes on special items, when applicable, are calculated based on the statutory tax rate of the entity where the activity is recorded. Special items may include items such as:

•Gains and losses on sales of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
•Impairment charges.
•Significant workforce reduction and other restructuring effects.
•Acquisition and divestiture-related adjustments.
•Significant losses on early extinguishment of debt.
•Other charges or credits that are, in management's view, non-recurring or otherwise not reflective of the company's ongoing operations.
